Pine Bark as a Diet.

One article of subsistence sometimes
employed by the Indians is only re-
sorted to when they are driven to great
straits by hunger. Around many of
the watering places in the pine forests
of Oregon and California the trees of
Pinus ponderosa may be seen stripped
of their bark for space of three or
four feet near the base of the trunk.
This has been accomplished by cutting
with Ratchet line around the tire 9
as high up as one could conveniently
reach, and another lower down, so
that the bark severed above and be-
low, could be removed in strips. At
certain seasons of the year a mucilag-
inous film (the liburnum) separates
the bark from the wood of the trunk.
Part of this film adheres to each sur
face and may be scraped off The re-
sulting mixture of mucilage cells and
half formed wood is nutritious and not
unpalatable, so that, us last sort. it
may be used rs defense against STAR
vation. The frequency with which
signs of it's having been resorted to are
met with is striking indication of the
uncertainties and Irregularities of the
supply department among savages. -

THE POST-WOMAN.

How the Little Gray Children Fooled
! Their Mamma.
Papa Gray was going to have fence
built around the back yard, and lothian
was digging the post-holes.
The children were looking on. and
helping what they could, which wasn't
a great deal perhaps.
''They have to have finger apiece
in every pie,' laughed lothian, good
naturally.
"We're going to bring the posts to
you," said Robin. .'We'll hitch rope
on, you know, and haul 'em out one to

four horses. and Mamie is going to

"Ye-es, I guess SO; nights well, "
said lothian. So away pranced the
team. Richie and Robin and Sadie and
Beth, with Mamie's short little legs
flying in the rear; and they were back
again. dragging the light cedar post,
before lothian ever thought of such a
thing.

he. II guess I'll have to hustle

Fairfax refrained from making any per.

they approached the house, he said:

YES said she, readily and unsus-
piciously falling into the second little trap
he was laying.
He had so timed his question that they
now stood on the porch, and Natalie, before
she realized what she was doing, had added,
courteously:
ssWill you come in and try ita''
with pleasure" responded he, immedi-
ately stepping in through the door.
At first Natalie felt a little alarmed, when
she considered that she had introduced an
absolute stranger into her defenseless and
''Tnaleless" home. Fairfax, however, gave
her no time for reflection. With easy
grace and the utmost coolness he moved
quickly toward the instrument, uttering, az
he neared it, the pleased exclamation:

So saying, he sat down before the key
board and began a soft, sweet prelude OF
Chopin's. Natalie Immediately recognized
the touch of musician, and listened with
increasing pleasure.

had an experience with q button
hook which I wish to relate for the
warning of any mothers who are not
already sufficiently afraid of them: 1t
was good fortune once that saved
my baby of twenty-one months from a
terrible accident. The cause was a
button-hook-a pretty, fancy-h andled
button-hook. 1t belongs to the five
year-old sister of the little one, and
has always been in demand as a play
thing On this particular morning.
the five-year-old having buttoned her
shoes. the not quite two-year-old ask =
ed for the hook. I handed it to her,
and turned to some toilet duty.
Presently my baby sore AIMED loudly.
Turning, I was Mortified to see the
button hook fast in the little throat.
caught up my baby took away the
hands that clutched at the hook,
and attempted to remove it
myself. 1t was fast under
the palate. which was pulled forward
in frightful way when drew the
hook. do not know how did ii. but
in some way safely pressed down
and back and released the hook. The
lacerated throat bled somewhat, and
the baby complained of a ''hu't" there
through the day occasionally. But
that was all. do not write for what
happened. but for what might have
happened. Had I been out of the
room, how NIGH the throat have been
torn by the efforts of the agonized
child! Or had the hook caught further,
the child might have gone into spasms
before it could be extricated. Also,
had the palate been injured, her speech
might have been forever imperfect I
suppose she must have put the hook
far enough into her throat to gag"
herself, and this threw the palate for
ward and caught the hook. Sady's

HOW TO SUCCEED.

A Talk to Boys-Always q Demand for
Excellent and Faithful Work.
A boys position in a commercial
house is usually at the foot of the lad
der. His duties are plain, his place is
insignificant, and his salary is small.
He is expected to familiarize himself
with the business, and as he becomes
more intelligent in regard to it he is
advanced to more responsible place.
His first duty, then, is to work. He
must cultivate, day by day, habits of
fidelity, accuracy, neatness and dis
patch, and these qualities will tell in
his favor as surely as the world re-
wolves. Though he may work unno-
ticed and uncommended for months,
such conduct always meets its reward.
I once knew boy who was a clerk in
ployed as entry clerks, shipping clerks,
buyers, book-keepers and statesmen,
eighty young men, besides small
army of porters, packers and truck
men; and this boy of seventeen felt
that amid such crowd as this he was
lost to notice, and that any efforts he
might make would be quite unre-
garded.
Nevertheless he did his duty; every
morning at eight o'clock he was
promptly in his place. and every power
he possessed was brought to bear upon
his work.
After he had been there year he had
70 c1r - g -
sence during the busy season.
THAT, " was the response, ''is an un-
usual request, and one which it is
somewhat inconvenient for us to grant;
but for the purpose of showing you
that we appreciate the efforts you have
made since you have been with us, we
take pleasure in giving you the leave
of absence for which you ask
II didn't think" said the boy, when
he came home that night and related
his success, ''that they knew a thing
about me, but it seems they have
watched me ever since / have been
with them.'
They had, indeed, watched him, and
had selected him for advancement, for
shortly after he was promoted to a po-
sition of trust, with appropriate in
crease of salary.
1t must be SO. sooney or later, for
there is'nearly always a demand for
excellent work.
A boy who means to build up for
himself a successful business will find
it a long and difficult task, even if he
brings to bear efforts both of body and
mind; but ne who thinks to win with
out doing his very best will find him.
